Spring Cleaning

I'm cleaning out the closets and the basement of my soul
Material possesions aren't helping keep me whole
Nor, are the toxic memories deep inside my heart
They've brought me comfort while I harbored them
but now its time we part
You can't put your arms around a memory
I know that much is true
So, today I'm cleaning out the past,
And making room for you
"Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"

When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."

    There is a beautiful Italian song along those lines... I'll post the lyrics when I have a little more time.

    Very nice poem.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Ho messo via un pע di rumore
    dicono cosל si fa nel comodino c'ט una mina
    e tonsille da seimila watt.
    Ho messo via i rimpiattini
    dicono non ho l'etא
    se si voltano un momomento
    io ci rigioco perchט a me... va.
    Ho messo via un pע di illusioni
    che prima o poi basta cosל
    ne ho messe via due o tre cartoni
    comunque so che sono lל.
    Ho messo via un pע di consigli
    dicono ט piש facile
    li ho messi via perchט a sbagliare
    sono bravissimo da me.
    Mi sto facendo un pע di posto
    e che mi aspetto chi lo sa
    che posto vuoto ce n'ט stato ce n'ט ce ne sarא.
    Ho messo via un bel pע di cose
    ma non mi spiego mai il perchט
    io non riesca a metter via te
    Ho messo via un pע di legnate
    i segni quelli non si puע
    che non ט il male nט la botta
    ma purtroppo il livido.
    Ho messo via un bel pע di foto
    che prenderanno polvere
    sia su rimorsi che rimpianti
    che rancori e sui perchט
    Mi sto facendo un pע di posto
    e che mi aspetto chi lo sa
    che posto vuoto ce n'ט stato ce n'ט ce ne sarא.
    Ho messo via un bel pע di cose
    ma non mi spiego mai il perchט
    io non riesca a metter via te
    In queste scarpe
    e su questa terra che dondola
    dondola dondola dondola
    con il conforto di
    un cielo che resta lל
    Mi sto facendo un pע di posto
    e che mi aspetto chi lo sa
    che posto vuoto ce n'ט stato ce n'ט ce ne sarא.
    Ho messo via un bel pע di cose
    ma non mi spiego mai il perchט
    io non riesca a metter via
    riesca a metter via,
    riesca a metter via te



    I put away a little noise
    they say that's how you do it
    in my nightstand, a mine and 6000 watt tonsils
    I put away my toys, they say I'm too old
    But if they turn around I'll play again
    because I feel like it

    I put away a few illusions
    Because sooner or later that's enough
    I put away two or three boxes of them
    But I know where they are.

    I put away some advice
    they say it's easy
    because I can make mistakes by myself
    I'm making some space, and what to expect
    I don't know
    Empty space there has been, there is and there will be
    I put away a lot of things, but I don't understand
    why I can't put away... you

    I put away a few blows,
    the marks I can't, because it's not the pain
    nor the hit, but the blue mark, unfortunately

    I put away a few pictures
    which will gather dust
    on remorse, regrets, resentments, and questions.
    In these shoes, in this shaking ground
    With the comfort of a stable sky
    I'm making some space, and what to expect
    I don't know
    Empty space there has been, there is and there will be
    I put away a lot of things, but I don't understand
    why I can't put away... you


    I'm really bad at translating, but that's the gist :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I like this one. I do this periodically. Clear out the ideas and stuff I no longer need. I think it's healthy. :)
